The first Nowell
1. The first Nowell1 the Angel did say,
was to certain poor shepherds2, in fields as they lay.
In fields where they lay a-keeping their sheep,
on a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell.
Born is the King of Israel.
2. They looked up and saw a star,
shining in the East, beyond them far,
and to the earth it gave great light,
and so it continued both day and night.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell.
Born is the King of Israel.
3. And by the light of that same star,
three wise3 men came from countries far!
To seek4 for a King was their intent5,
and to follow the star wherever it went.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell.
Born is the King of Israel.

The Christmas countdown
The Higgins are a typical English family. They
celebrate Christmas like most other English
families do. Here you can see Mrs Higgins’ shop-
ping list. The most important thing on it is a nice
big turkey. But there are many more things that
she needs for a typical Christmas dinner.
On Christmas Eve, Mr Higgins puts up the
Christmas tree. The children usually help him
to decorate it. Susan and John hang all sorts of
ornaments from every branch of the tree. They
hang coloured balls, silver stars, chocolate fig-
ures, tinsel and silver bells from the branches.
At last Mr Higgins puts on the electric candles.
The Higgins only have a small meal on Christ-
mas Eve. The children can’t wait to hang up the
stockings on their bedposts. John looks all over
the house - he wants to find some really big
stockings. Mr Higgins’ skiing socks are the big-
gest that he can find, but he still isn’t satisfied.
Suddenly he has a good idea: he rushes to the
cupboard and fetches a pillow case. Now there
should be enough room for some nice presents.
He hangs the pillow case on the bedpost closest
to the door. He goes to sleep very excited. To-
night is different from all the other nights in the
year. He soon falls asleep. After some time there
is a smile on his face: he is dreaming.
Father Christmas or Santa Claus, as young chil-
dren call him in England, comes at around 3
o’clock in the morning. He comes flying through
the air. Reindeer pull his sleigh all the way from
the North Pole where he lives. He stops the sleigh
by the chimney. Then he climbs down the chim-
ney with presents for the sleeping boys and girls.
He tiptoes from the fireplace to the children’s
bedrooms, opens their doors quietly and fills
Susan’s red stockings with apples and sweets.
He sees John’s pillow case. He laughs quietly
and puts an exciting book and a pop CD into it.
Then he leaves the house through the chimney
and flies away to the other houses on his sleigh.

Soon the snowman had a smiling face and was
dressed in a white coat with buttons made of
small stones. He wore an old top hat and blue
rubber boots. “Oh dear, he has got cold hands.
We’ll find him some gloves, too. And he cer-
tainly needs a warm scarf. Go and look for a
scarf,” said Wendy. “I’ll get some old gloves for
him.”
Bert looked everywhere in the house, but he
couldn’t find an old scarf anywhere. Sadly he
went back to the snowman again. Wendy was
just putting the gloves on the snowman’s hands.
“Where did you find this nice scarf?” she asked
her brother. “Which scarf? I couldn’t find a scarf
anywhere,” answered Bert. “When I came back
with the gloves this blue scarf was round his neck
already. That’s strange.” “Yes, that’s really
strange.”
Suddenly Bert cried: “Look at his face, Wendy!
just look now he is opening his mouth. I can’t
believe it!”
A deep, friendly voice said: “Hello, I’m Freezy.
I’m your friend. Thank you for the nice top hat
and the warm gloves. 1 like these rubber boots,
too.” And the snowman lifted his right arm and
waved to the children, who couldn’t believe their
eyes. And before they could answer him the
snowman even began walking up and down the
garden path. “Go and get your sleds,” said
Freezy. Soon they all went to a nearby hill and
the children started coasting down the hills on
their sleds. They went faster and they were able
to travel further than ever before.
On Monday morning the children had to go to
school again. They hated to say “Good bye” to
Freezy who was waiting for them in the garden
as usual. But the children were very lucky. Their
teacher was ill in bed. He had a cold, so the chil-
dren could soon go home. When they got home
Freezy was very glad to see them again so soon.
He had a good idea: “Let’s go ice skating to-
day.” The children quickly fetched their skates
and walked down to the lake. Many other chil-
dren were there already and ran up to Freezy
and shouted and laughed and played games with
him. They all had a wonderful time.

DDecorations
Today you can buy all kinds of decorations for the Christ-
mas tree and the rooms in the house. Originally, people
didn’t have Christmas trees in England and America and
decorated their rooms with holly, ivy and mistletoe. This,
of course, is still done today. Christmas trees, which were
only introduced in the 19th century by Prince Albert, the
husband of Queen Victoria, are decorated with chocolate,
coloured balls, silver bells and tinsel.
Evergreens
Long before Jesus was born people used to decorate their homes with plants that
were also green in winter. As people still enjoy having plants in their homes, they
decorate the rooms with holly and mistletoe.
Father Christmas (= Santa Claus)
The first picture that was drawn of Santa Claus is
only about 100 years old. It was an American who
drew pictures of him in a newspaper between 1863
and 1866.
English and American children believe that Santa
Claus brings them their presents. He always comes
at night on a handsome sleigh. He climbs down the
chimney into the houses and fills the children’s stock-
ings with presents.
Gifts
Many years ago people used to give presents at festival times. The Romans gave
presents at their New Year festival. When they went to other countries, they took
many customs with them. One of these customs was to give presents to people they
liked at New Year. This is why still today in many countries presents are not given
on Christmas Day, or as it is in Germany on Christmas Eve, but on New Year’s day.
These presents have really nothing to do with Christ’s birth.
Presents given at Christmas time remind people of the gifts given by the wise men
to Jesus.
Holly
People decorate their rooms with holly because it’s green
even when it’s cold outside. It’s likely that the English word
comes from the word “holy”, because the leaves of the holly
are like the thorns used in the Crown of Thorns Jesus had
to wear on Good Friday.
The Americans were the first to fasten a holly wreath to their front doors. Many
British people liked this idea and copied it.
